Lyrics
CHORUS: You’ve got to read. Crack a book! You’ve got to feed. Take a look! Your hungry mind. Find a nook! So take some time. Read a book!
Oh Crack a book! You’ve got to read Take a look! You’ve got to feed. Find a nook! Your hungry mind So read a book! Take some time.
So many choices in the library. I’ll find a book just right for me. A tale of the sea about Moby Dick Or a how-to book of magic tricks.
Teacher says I need a biography For my report on Robert E. Lee And I’ll keep lookin’, ‘cause when I’m done I’ll read about lizards, just for fun.
I wanna keep readin’ to feed my mind, And load it up with good stuff all of the time. Makin’ my brain what it ought to be I’d rather crack a book than watch TV.
Final Chorus:
Crack a book. (C’mon kids, let’s get crackin’!) Crack a book. (do do do do do do do do do) Crack…………..(knocking sound)………..Crack a book!
